Western Corporate Federal Credit Union has a new chief investment officer.

Joe DeMichele will direct WesCorp's investment operations, which includes providing comprehensive balance sheet, liquidity and investment related products and services to members, the corporate said. He replaces former WesCorp CIO Bob Burrell, who was dismissed as a result of WesCorp's March 20 conservatorship.
